Add bubbles to the list of things that the twins must have RIGHT NOW or else it’s a tragedy. Claire walked out to the kitchen first thing this morning and said “Bubbles… bubbles… bubbles…” imploringly to me. Here is a video of their first experience with them last night.

Fingerpainting

I had to solicit help from Justin, and I had to find some way to make the bathtub handles childproof before embarking on this brave project, but we finally did it before the paint containers gathered too much dust. We had a plastic sheet on the table and we stripped the children down before starting.

Claire and Ronin have been getting much better about helping with the laundry, I’m happy to say. I just try to make sure the floor has been recently mopped when they do help.

I have started calling Ronin “Throw-nin” because unless I hand-feed him every single bite of food, he hurls it on the floor or across the room. I have this crazy hope that he will go back to his normal placid self once he’s completely over his cough and congestion, but I think that’s probably overly [...]
